Back-to-School Immunization

It’s back-to-school immunization time! The Alexandria Health Department (AHD) encourages all parents to review immunization records for their children and obtain any needed vaccines prior to the start up of a new school year. This is especially important for children entering kindergarten, sixth grade and new students transferring to the school district.

The AHD offers all school required vaccines through both walk-in and appointment-only clinics, based on availability. All school-required immunizations are free of charge. Parents and/or guardians must provide all immunization records for each child at the time of registration.

NOTE: Please understand that AHD may have large numbers of families seeking vaccines for their children this time of year. If the number of clients for our immunization clinic exceeds the capacity for us to safely provide vaccines, we will close registration and recommend an alternate date and time for vaccines, if necessary. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
